somethinelse 0 #26 November 23, 2004 Hmm. Only jumped 182 & 206 so far so... I've only done 2 DIVING EXITS so far- they are very smooth! And I feel like a diving HAWK doing them! HANGING EXITS are very easy. But I don't like POISED EXITS at all. It'll be interesting varying exits out of other planes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Reginald 0 #27 November 23, 2004 I really prefer diving exits. Why would I want to cling on to the outside of an airplane fighting a 100 knot wind? I find diving just more fun and easier. For 4 way I prefer an IC exit. ;-)"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lou_lou 0 #31 November 23, 2004 My favourite exit is to just jump out backwards curled up in a ball. I find this is the only way I can get the same feeling I got the first time I did a tandem which is, after all, what made me learn to skydive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites FrogNog 1 #32 November 23, 2004 I like doing a track from the strut on the C-182 with a friend doing a simultaneous backtrack (or backfly) exit from in front of the strut. On low jumps doing this, I can deploy in the track and the video is sweet. -=-=-=-=- Pull.

Dont forget to catch a wicked shot of the Dornier upside down as you rotate......its even better if you are out last and see it diving away from you(upside down of course)......this exit gives me a sense of peace like no other I have tried.....
